The Committee on International Relations at the University of Chicago, the nation's oldest graduate program in international affairs, combines intellectual diversity and analytical rigor to provide an especially stimulating environment for students. The small size and scholarly intensity of the Committee ensure that students with differing perspectives will challenge each other and come to a more sophisticated understanding of the complicated interaction between the realities of international politics and the requirements of a global morality. The sharp analytical and critical skills the program fosters provide excellent preparation for students, whether they choose to continue their graduate studies in leading doctoral programs, or decide to work in government or the private sector. Our in-house Career Services understands that careers take many different paths and strategically recommends a career management approach that addresses both the short- and long-term professional goals of students and prepares them for those many different paths. Our primary goal and mission is to support students from day one with the goal of implementing customized career strategies that meet their personal goals and continue to prepare them for transition well beyond graduation. CIR Career Services is committed to providing timely and relevant information and resources for our students and alumni during their job search. For current students, we plan countless events and programming to make accessible the intricacies of career building?through networking opportunities with alumni, lectures and discussions with career guidance experts on campus, and master workshops with our Director of Career Services. For both current students and alumni who are searching for jobs, our Director of Career Services is available for one-on-one meetings to go over job search documents (resumes, cover letters, CVs, and writing samples), as well as to help guide the job search.
